Spring Festival 2026 Day 1
May 22, 2026
To celebrate NKT Day, KMC Montreal organized its first fundraiser, Walk for World Peace. They went to Mount Royal to walk for peace and enjoy the sunshine, meditation and picnic at the summit.
"The afternoon continued at the center with a tea,scones and a talk about Kadampa Festivals. We were deeply inspired to take to heart Venerable Geshe-la's message to keep the intention to attend all festivals, the best method to maintain the International Union of Kadampa Buddhism, which allows us to fulfill all our wishes."
The sun is shining and it's a delightfully warm English spring day. All day people stream in to Manjushri Kadampa Meditation Centre in the Lake District - on coaches, in cars, by foot and in taxis. As new arrivals head to registration and get oriented, simultaneously preparations continue for the Festival to run smoothly in
